LANSING, Mich. - During its regularly scheduled meeting today, the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development voted to approve a Food and Agriculture Investment Fund grant for one Michigan company preparing to expand capacity, serve more Michigan growers, and position themselves to remain competitive with other states. The project is expected to create new jobs and improve energy and operational efficiencies.
"The recently approved MDARD grant will help one local firm improve operations and create good-paying jobs as we continue Michigan's economic jumpstart," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "Michigan is home to so many innovative, entrepreneurial agricultural and food production companies and we must ensure that they have the resources they need to thrive."
"What we're seeing across the country right now is a highly competitive environment in the food and agriculture industry, so projects that improve operations, create good jobs, increase market share, and indirectly support other Michigan-based businesses are critical for long-term success," said Gary McDowell, director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. "We're proud to play a small but important role in these advancements, and we're excited to see what the future holds for our innovative and driven entrepreneurs."
